• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion and congratulate hon. Zuleikha for bringing this Motion. As I support the Motion, I also want to note that this House has passed many laws that have not been implemented. The style of the Executive many times is to get Parliament to pass laws and then fail to give funding to effect the intentions of Parliament. The intention of this Parliament was to have a National Youth Council where the young people would contribute, participate, elect their own leaders and start to develop into a youth movement of sorts. ... view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion and really congratulate the Mover for bringing it to this House. I support the Motion because agriculture under which the Motion is brought is now fully a county function. If you look at Schedule Four of the new Constitution, all of the functions around agriculture including processing need to be transferred to the counties. So, I support that the agro-based parastatals should now start to function in the counties. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the counties we elected Members of the County Assembly and the governors are now forming the county executives. So, the questions of capacity will start to be answered with the settling down of the Government at the county view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I had done my maiden speech but I continue to thank the people of Nyeri for voting for me and I promise to serve them and to do the best that I can. On this proposal--- view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I beg to move:- view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. Actually, I intended to alert this House about the inclusion of SRC in the memorandum. I think that objective has been achieved. I wish to withdraw the amendment. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady I beg to move:- THAT Clause 2 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new definitions in their proper alphabetical sequence- “conditional allocations” means allocations in the share of revenue allocated to the national government for the purpose of meeting specified county government expenditure including financing county expenses relating to development programmes; “county allocation” means the share of national revenue computed in accordance with Article 203(2) of the Constitution that is allocated for the use of the County government consisting of the county Executive and the County Assembly; “national allocation” means the share of national revenue ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: I think we also need to clarify because ---- view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I just want to drive home the point. I hope the Leader of Majority Party can see how much we struggle to try and make law on the Floor of the House. Really, these committees have to be formed. My further amendment is to even do away with that “unconditional allocations” because the new schedule brought in today does not have that term. The term that hon. Sambu has introduced is “unconditional grant”. So, it is not even clear whether “unconditional allowance” is the same as “unconditional grant”. The unspecified county government expenditure in the “unconditional allocations” definition ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: I am only withdrawing the “unconditional allocations”. The others remain; “conditional allocation, county allocation and national allocation”. view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also want to support this Bill but even as I support it, I want to lament the use of language. There is an introduction of a concept around “making the counties harmless” that is attracting Kshs17 billion. I would urge that this House seeks to understand what that means and any failure to understand some of the concepts in this Bill, we should not pass laws that we do not understand. A lot of sharing has been done well but there is that introduction of “harmless”. Somebody had lamented earlier about the definitions. There ... view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: It is also important to note that as we pass new laws, the constitutional language has been reduced to such a level that anybody can read the Constitution and understand, including the Devolution Chapter. So, any other laws that this House passes must follow that kind of language, language that we can all understand. I also regret, with many of the Members, the lack of committees. We have a disparity in the figures given by the CRA view
